135: From Anxiety to Action - How to Stop Letting Fear Control Your Life!
Hey y’all! In this episode, I’m breaking down how the stories we tell ourselves can stop us dead in our tracks. I’m sharing a personal story about taking my daughter, Anna Jo, to get her ears pierced and how her excitement quickly turned into anxiety. The way she battled that fear reminded me so much of the struggles we face as entrepreneurs—letting our fears and negative thoughts hold us back from the things we want the most. I also get into some of my own battles with fear, like the time I had to give a big presentation in front of seasoned speakers and how the stories in my head almost made me back out. Spoiler alert: when we take action, it’s rarely as bad as we imagine! What You’ll Learn: Why the fears in your head are almost always worse than reality. How breaking down your fear into small steps can help you move forward. Why action is the cure to fear. How reflecting on past successes can give you the courage to keep going. Key Moments: Anna Jo’s Ear Piercing Adventure: What started as excitement turned into full-on anxiety for my daughter. Her fear of pain, regret, and everything in between almost kept her from reaching her goal. Sound familiar? I talk through how this relates to your journey as an entrepreneur. My Fear of Speaking: I open up about the time I was almost too scared to give a big presentation in front of professional speakers. How did I get through it? I did it afraid, and guess what? The reality was way better than the stories in my head. Three Simple Tips to Overcome Fear: Acknowledge the Fear: It’s okay to feel it—just don’t let it control you. Break it Down: Focus on taking one small step at a time. Reflect on Success: Look back on times when things worked out and use that as fuel. Quotes from the Show: "The fears in our head are almost always worse than the reality." "Action cures fear. The more you do, the more confident you get." "When we just take the first step, we realize the story in our head wasn’t true." Take Action: I want you to think about what fears or stories are holding you back right now. Then, break it down and take that first step. I promise you, once you get moving, things won’t seem so scary.

130: 7-Figure Book Funnels & Psychedelics: A Path to Profit & Personal Growth w/ Austin Netzley
I’m thrilled to be joined by my good friend Austin Netzley. Austin is an incredible entrepreneur and the founder of 2X, a company that helps business owners systemize and scale their operations. We dive into the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, share some impactful stories, and explore how personal growth and mental health play crucial roles in our journeys. Episode Highlights: Austin’s Entrepreneurial Journey: Austin opens up about his transition from a corporate engineering career to entrepreneurship. He started with day trading and went on to build several successful businesses. One of the most compelling parts of his story is the 18-month sabbatical he took to travel the world after burning out from his first business. I can relate to this because I also needed to step back after running my seminar company for four years. Sometimes, a break can be just what you need to gain clarity and renew your passion. The Challenges of Scaling: We discuss the chaos that often comes with scaling a business. Austin shares his experiences with his third business, a book marketing agency, and the common fears entrepreneurs face when scaling up, especially around hiring and reinvesting. We both agree that hitting a wall at certain income levels is common due to fear of the unknown. It’s crucial to align your business goals with your personal aspirations, whether that means expanding your team or keeping things manageable as a solopreneur. Random Stepping Stones & Personal Clarity: Austin and I chat about the idea of "random stepping stones"—those early ventures that might seem like detours but end up leading you to where you need to go. We emphasize the importance of personal and business goal alignment. It’s easy to get caught up in following someone else’s path, but staying true to your own vision is key. The Power of Coaching: I share my experiences with coaching programs—both the highs and the lows. Finding the right coach who offers actionable guidance and accountability is essential. Austin’s approach to coaching stands out because of his focus on personalized advice and balancing growth with operational excellence. His insights on this topic are incredibly valuable. Mental Health & Personal Growth: Our conversation takes a deep dive into mental health and its impact on every aspect of our lives. I open up about my experiences with psychedelic therapy, which has been transformative in addressing deep-seated issues. Austin and I discuss our initial skepticism and how exploring plant medicine has led to profound personal growth. We highlight the importance of undergoing this kind of work in a supportive environment with experienced guides. Key Takeaways: Embrace the entrepreneurial journey with openness to detours and personal growth. Align your business strategies with your personal goals to avoid hitting a wall. Seek personalized coaching that offers practical guidance and support. Prioritize mental health and consider transformative practices like psychedelic therapy for significant personal development. Connect with Austin: Listen Now: Dive into this episode for a powerful conversation that blends insights on entrepreneurship, personal growth, and mental health. Austin brings a wealth of knowledge, and I know you’ll find this discussion as impactful as I did!

118: The Pros and Cons of Business Partnerships w/ Jeff Rose
Today, I'm thrilled to be hanging out with my good friend Jeff Rose. We've been catching up, talking on the phone, but it's been way too long since we've been in the same room. So, it's time to remedy that! We kick things off with some light-hearted banter about coffee flavors and unconventional biohacks involving nicotine pouches (definitely not an endorsement, folks!). But soon, we dive into a topic that's near and dear to our hearts – partnerships. Jeff shares his honest feelings about partnerships, from the successes to the lingering challenges and PTSD-like effects from past ventures. I chime in with my own perspective, setting the stage for a deep exploration of the dynamics of business partnerships. We share personal stories, from initial collaborations to equity negotiations and strategic partnerships, we lay it all out – the highs, lows, and complexities of partnering in business. Amidst the laughter and banter, we touch on key themes like trust, communication, and aligning goals in partnerships. And of course, we delve into the unique challenges and rewards of partnering with spouses, drawing from our own marriages intertwined with business ventures. This episode isn't just about business strategies; it's a candid exploration of the "fruits and traumas" that come with partnerships, offering valuable lessons and insights for entrepreneurs and anyone navigating collaborative ventures. So settle in, and join Jeff and me on this engaging journey through the world of partnerships on the Shane Sams Show! Learn more about speaking, selling, and storytelling at .

117: 5 Things To Do Before Your First Speaking Gig
In today's show, we're diving into valuable insights shared by Shane Sams on public speaking and professional speaking gigs. Shane, an experienced speaker, offers five key tips for anyone gearing up for their first speaking engagement. Arrive a Day Early: Shane emphasizes the importance of arriving at the speaking venue a day before the event. This allows speakers to familiarize themselves with the space, acclimate to the environment, and ensure they're well-rested for the big day. Shane shares personal anecdotes from his years of experience, highlighting the benefits of this approach. Avoid Over-Rehearsing: While preparation is crucial, Shane advises against over-rehearsing. Instead of repeatedly reciting the entire speech, he suggests recording the talk, listening to it multiple times, and focusing on getting into the flow of the content. This method helps speakers avoid stressing out, preserve their voice, and maintain spontaneity during the actual presentation. Plan Post-Talk Activities: One insightful tip Shane offers is to plan enjoyable activities after the speaking engagement. Whether it's exploring the city, having dinner with friends, or visiting local landmarks, having something to look forward to post-talk helps speakers relax and prevents them from obsessing over the presentation. Manage Caffeine Intake: Shane discusses the impact of caffeine on nerves and advises speakers to limit their coffee intake on the day of the talk. By controlling caffeine consumption and allowing ample time before speaking, speakers can present themselves calmer and more composed on stage. Arrive Early to the Venue: Lastly, Shane stresses the importance of arriving early at the speaking venue. Getting there ahead of time allows speakers to familiarize themselves with the space, visualize the audience, and mentally prepare for the presentation. Additionally, he shares a bonus tip about not putting on the speaking outfit until right before going on stage to avoid sweating. By following these five tips, speakers can enhance their performance, manage pre-talk nerves, and deliver impactful presentations. Shane's insights, drawn from years of speaking experience, provide valuable guidance for anyone stepping into the world of public speaking. Check out the new Youtube channel: Resources at .
